  • Necessary and brave

    Nikita Williams is opening up vital conversations about running or building a business while managing chronic illness. As someone who has been dealing with several chronic illnesses and who’s spent years in the IT corporate world and is now building my own business, this kind of visibility truly matters. And if this is done with heart, passion and authenticity like the one Nikita brings it is both needed and overdue.

  • LOVE this podcast!

    Crafted to thrive is one of my favorite podcasts. Every episode I’ve listen to so far is relatable, encouraging, and interesting. I love that it focuses on real life, personal and chronic illness experiences while running a business. I’ve been struggling for awhile now on how to balance those two together in my own life and it’s been so amazing to hear such encouraging stories that leave me feeling empowered ✨
